In the past weeks, police officers in the capital Nairobi had removed roadblocks that they mounted across the city to ensure citizens comply with curfew rules.

But the restrictions are now back, a survey on Wednesday night showed officers sought to ensure only essential services providers move between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m., the curfew hours.

"Are you offering any essential services?" an officer at a roadblock in Syokimau on the south of Nairobi posed as he checked our badges to confirm we are journalists.

Dozens of motorists were stopped at the roadblock, among others across Nairobi, and booked by police officers for flouting the curfew rules. This has been the trend since Monday, with two legislators being high-profile arrested and charged in court this week for flouting curfew rules.

On Tuesday, the Ministry of Health announced new measures to curb the sale of alcohol to sit-in customers, a practice that had cropped back as the businesses flouted rules.

Mercy Mwangangi, Chief Administrative Secretary in the Ministry of Health, said on Thursday the government will start visiting communities to educate the public to observe containment measures.
